I haven't seen this posted yet: Amazon lists a new book by magic scholars Jim Steinmeyer and Peter Lamont, which is announced for publication in mid-July 2018, "The Secret History of Magic: The True Story of the Deceptive Art."

What to expect:

Two renowned historians of stage magic team up to produce this definitive, engaging history of stage magic, from Ancient Egypt to David Copperfield. Fifty glorious illustrations throughout.
